Abstract
Full duplex communication promises performance gains in terms of the throughput and the delay. Generally, it has been shown that the throughput and delay gains of full duplex communication are somewhat limited in realistic network settings, leading researchers to study other possible applications of full duplex communication providing significantly higher gains over half duplex communication. The potential of full duplex nodes in improving the physical layer security of a communication link is investigated in this contribution. Specifically, we present a thorough analysis of the ergodic secrecy capacity for a pair of nodes with full duplex communication. The ergodic secrecy rate with full duplex communication is found to grow linearly with the log of the direct channel SNR as opposed to the flattened out secrecy rate with conventional half duplex communication, irrespective of the eavesdropper channel strengths.
